Little League benefits from grant

Homer Little League would like to sincerely thank the Homer Foundation’s Youth Advisory Committee for the $800 grant awarded last year toward the purchase of a new portable batting cage for our little leaguers. Former HLL president Mike Hayes has such a passion for sharing the game of baseball with the youth of Homer, and his vision for a functional batting cage to teach fundamental skills will be realized this spring as the after-school programs kick off this month.

Registration is now open for the regular Little League season at Karen Hornaday Park with Opening Day Saturday, May 11, at noon. The new cage will be set up at the field then, so come check it out. Funding for this project was made possible by the support of generous donors and the Ashley J. Logan and Sheldon Youth to Youth Funds, both field of interest funds at the Homer Foundation.
